Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Xavier, Are You Out of Your Mind?!

This decision was perhaps the worst move that Xavier had made. Veronica ignored him and helped him down the stairs. He had trouble walking properly, so it took him quite some time to get down the stairs.

For a moment of thought, she was thinking about exacting revenge on Xavier, but she knew that he was near desperation. If she actually took control of him and threatened his subordinates to release Monica and Shirley, there was a chance that he might choose to take everyone down along with him.

That was because the Crawfords would undoubtedly face complete destruction if they did not manage to obtain the five hundred million as cash flow.

If they lost everything, then there was no way that Hendric would let Xavier off the hook. As such, Veronica did not dare to act rashly.

More From The Web

After quite some time, they finally got down the stairs and there was a car waiting below. Xavier pointed at the car and indicated for her to enter it.

The bodyguard inside the car saw the two of them approaching and he instantly opened the car door for the duo to get in. Subsequently, the bodyguard entered the driver’s seat and drove off.

Their car drove off gradually and Veronica’s heart was in her mouth the entire time. “Roni, what do you reckon? Where should we head to right now?”

“It’s up to you,” she mentioned coldly but he merely responded, “Let’s go to Collins.”

Collins? Collins was her hometown and Veronica had no idea why Xavier wanted to make his way there. Perhaps it was just a transit point for him, so she did not bother to ask him.

Ten minutes later, Veronica’s phone went off. She tilted her head to glance at the screen and it was Matthew’s number that appeared on there. However, her phone was with Xavier, so she could not take the call.

She leaned back in her seat and took a rest to preserve her energy. She planned to leave after ensuring Monica and Shirley’s safety, hence all she could do now was wait patiently.

Originally, after receiving Matthew’s WhatsApp message, she replied with her location. After she sent that message, she deleted the message from her end rather than recalling the message.

Subsequently, she replied to him with another message by insisting that she did not want any cake from him.

That was her way of responding to Matthew to indicate that she was in dire straits.

After that, he no longer replied to her message.

Veronica prayed silently for him to arrive as soon as possible and succeed in rescuing both Monica and Shirley.

On the other end, Matthew brought Thomas and a group of men along with him to the deserted building.

There were ten cars parked in front of the deserted building and all of the bodyguards alighted from the cars; there were more than ten of them.

Matthew gestured with his hand as he spoke, “Search the building and find them!”

“Yes, Young Master Matthew.”

Matthew had his eyes shut while resting, seemingly preoccupied.

Thomas took a look at Matthew before glancing at his phone again. Finally, he mustered up his courage and said, “Young Master Matthew, someone is sabotaging us secretly. Our men have been trying hard to delete the video and clear the news on the internet, but the other party has paid off some people to spread the news and the video widely by using popular accounts.”

During such a critical moment, there seemed to be a bunch of people intent on targeting Veronica.

Actually, they were more likely to be targeting Matthew than Veronica.

“I’ll deal with it.” He appeared to look calm, but his handsome and perfectly sculpted face was devoid of expression; he looked calm as if nothing had happened.

However, Thomas, who had worked for Matthew for such a long time, clearly knew that this was the calm before a storm. Once this man unleashed his anger, there would be severe consequences.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was tense and cold. Thomas found it quite suffocating and he felt as if there was insufficient oxygen inside.

Matthew placed a phone call and conversed fluently in French with the other party. He barely spoke more than five sentences before he hung up the phone.

On the other end, Veronica remained seated in the car and Xavier purposely instructed the driver to turn on the radio.

There was sensational news reported on the radio, ‘Breaking news! This is today’s trending news. The god-granddaughter of Old Mrs. Kings has been found to be in an explicit relationship with Young Master Xavier. There has been a video of them published on the internet which has caused an uproar…” the broadcaster reported today’s incident on the news.

Veronica, who had been silent all this while, suddenly lost her composure and turned around to look at Xavier as she confronted him in a frenzied state, “Xavier, what the heck are you trying to do?”

This b*stard! Does he intend to ruin me?! At that point, she instantly felt that she must have been blinded in the past. Although she hated him previously, she did not despise him this badly.

However, things were much different now and he had repeatedly shown her his deplorable ways that broke her views of him. It was then Veronica realized that there was a huge gap and intense feud between them.

“Roni, why are you so upset?” Xavier was not the least bit upset and he revealed a smile. He lifted his hand to pinch her cheeks. “I like you too much, that’s why. That b*stard, Matthew, isn’t good enough for you. He has a bevy of women by his side, so he won’t appreciate you at all. You should stay by my side and I’ll definitely treat you well. I promise.”

He actually meant those words sincerely as he really liked her. No, to be more precise, he loved her very much.
